Sideboard


So, this is my attempt at Orzhov Vampires (loosely focused around The City's Blessing). Before I get started, I know it would probably be more effective as a Mardu list, but I personally just didn't feel that adding red was worth it.

So, the obvious lords of the list are: Legion Lieutenant, Captivating Vampire, and, while not strictly a lord, Sanctum Seeker. I decided on Sanctum Seeker over Vampire Nocturnus simply because I had too many white cards in the list and it wouldn't be profitable having it be so random, whereas Sanctum Seeker is consistent damage and life gain.

Dusk Legion Zealot is a simple body/beater that also gives card advantage.

Bloodghast is just basically the best basic vampire ever and obviously needs to be in the deck.

Skymarcher Aspirant is our turn 1 beater. I preferred her over Vampire Lacerator and felt that she worked better in the long run (Plus, if you draw her late game you have a chance at the city's blessing).

Twilight Prophet is actually the motivation behind this deck. I've loved her ever since she was spoiled and desperately wanted to use her because if you can get her out, she's absolutely insane.

Legion's Landing gives tokens and, for 1 mana, gives 2 permanents toward the city blessing, plus in longer games it can be useful for token generation.

Path to exile and Fatal push are the generic removal choices.

As for sideboard: Ghostly Prison is for Zoo matchups.

Rest in Peace for any graveyard list.

Stony Silence for Affinity.

Surgical for everything.

Thoughtseize for combo decks.

Wrath of God for any creature heavy list.

Profane Procession in case I need large amounts of removal.
